Papper...I Mean Pepper Jelly!

I put papper jelly on my Facebook status last night, and haven't heard the end of it!
It's Pepper Jelly all right!?
It finally got made tonight!
I WAS going to make it last night....got the peppers ready (yup, wore rubber gloves this time), turned the canner on, went to put my jars in the sink to sterilize, and only 4 lids to fit!
That was the end of that!
I usually have an overabundance of lids....so DID stock up today!
Here's the proof!
















There's my batch of salsa behind my red and green Pepper Jelly!
I'll try my new recipe over the weekend. Cranberry Pepper Jelly, as soon as I find the rest of my jars, cause I just KNOW that everyone I gave jam & stuff to in the small jars, has returned them.
I must have miss placed them! ;)

I also made the O/S a Halloween card. And as soon as I find his address I'll send it to him, hopefully he'll get it between, arriving from his CRUISE and going to Germany!
I think he said they'd be in Guatemala in the next day or 2.
He has to work, so won't be spending any money!





This is the second time I uploaded this darn card. Nothing special, but I'm thinking that Co-ordinations paper is fast becoming my fav! And this picture doesn't do that paper justice! It's either black or a really dark green with almost a neon green that I embossed and sanded!
I was just fooling around, and made the pumpkin out of an oval punch.
I'm really not getting serious about anything until after the Christmas Tree ATC's.
I think I'll wander over to CCAYR in the next day or 2 to see what the October Challenge will be!
Hahaha, the card is sitting on my DS, which I was playing for a while before making this card!
The inside says 'sending Halloween smiles across the miles.'




Oh boy, remember a post or 2 ago I cryed you a river about working with idiots, and maybe they'd like me full time at my other job?
Monday the conversation went like this!
D came in, so I took my sticky notes for him to his office.
He was lounged back with his feet on his desk.
Me: "What are you doing?"
D: "I'm not gonna do anything."
Me: "You got a hang over that just won't quit?"
D: "That's the trouble Gail, at least a hang over goes away, I don't know what I picked up. I'm waiting for Tyson, then going home to bed."
Me: "OK fine! I brought you some more sticky notes but you haven't even looked at the ones from last week."
D: "You know what Gail, you need to be here full time, you can drive that f'en handi van once a week."
Me: "I'll think about it, but you ask me when you mean it."
D: "I'll bring it up at the next meeting."
It won't be a meeting, he'll just tell them how it's going to be.
I've thought a little about it.
That job is my spending money.
I pay my bills & stuff with the OFH job.
My other job pays better, but I can have a sick day here and there at the OFH.
I'm thinking I can negotiate something. 
I've only told 2 of my friends, and one is my immediate supervisor at the OFH. She said: "Well I feel sorry for me. You'll be bored."
My BBF said: "Well you've got a decision to make."

Good thing I'm not losing any sleep over it....yet!
I was fretting that I ran off the October calendar and newsletter for the OFH, and I think the only birthday I put on there for October was the Cadillac! Damn!
Oh well, it gives the residents something to talk about. I always tell them there will be a test on the newsletter and calendar!

Better go, got an e-mail today saying my drapes were cancelled! hahahahaha, the ones in stock, then will be shipped December 23. Now they're cancelled. Forgot the e-mail at work or I'd call, guess I'll be shopping online again!

Ta ta for now!

At any rate your pepper jelly looks great.

You must be a canning queen. Your "stuff" looks wonderful! I love your card! Don't you just love that Coordinations card stock? I have two giant pads of it in every color, but rarely use it! Typical paper hoarder here! Best, Curt
